As a reference in ASP.NET state saving is always at the client - there is no option to save in server. Somehow M'soft managed to get the framework running at very decent speed. I am wondering whether we can achieve some of the efficiencies in ASP.NET.
Some of the 'good' things that I observed are: - The viewstate of a component is not saved automatically, you need to configured explicitly whether a component is to participate in ViewState. - Value binding is not offered, which means component values are set programmatically. However it also means that programmer has much more control over the binding of data to the components. For example a dataTable will NOT be regenerated twice on every postback. In asp.net you can configure to save its viewstate and forget about it altogether until the user click something that requires refreshing the table data. I have contemplated forging value binding altogether and adopt a more ASP.NET style of doing JSF. I like to hear what you Guru have to say about it.

I brought this exact thing up a long time ago calling it windowScope or frameScope. It's one of those must have things like the back button support.
